Product Information

Full details

This reinforced ankle support by Thuasne is designed for adult athletes seeking enhanced stability during high-impact sports like football, basketball, and tennis, or for resuming activities post-injury. Its key benefit is providing compressive support to improve proprioception and aid in recovery, though users should be aware it offers moderate, not maximum, support. Key features include an elastic knit for homogeneous compression, a comfort zone for malleolus centering, and fitting tabs for ease of use, all within an anatomically cut design.

Troubleshooting

Support feels too tight or restricts circulation

Loosen the support slightly by adjusting the fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurement. If discomfort persists, remove the support and consult the sizing guide or a healthcare professional.

Support slides down during activity

Check that the correct size has been chosen. Ensure the ankle area is clean and dry before application. Adjust the tabs for a more secure fit. If the issue persists, consider if the support is appropriate for the intensity of the activity.

Skin irritation or discomfort

Ensure the support is clean. Try wearing a thin sock liner underneath. If irritation continues, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional to rule out material allergies or improper fit.

Support loses elasticity over time

Follow care instructions carefully, especially avoiding machine washing, high heat, and harsh detergents, which can degrade the elastic fibers. Replace the support if it no longer provides adequate compression.
